Are KDE config files documented anywhere? (lemm.ee)

I would like to backup some KDE settings but don't really know which files to copy from .config

Searching for their names in github.com/KDE has given me some idea about their purposes but I couldn't find any comments or documentation there either.

Most of them have the app name in the config file. And the config files are largely human readable. Sort of self documenting.

Why not just back up the whole folder though?

[–] notanapple@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Don't want to backup the whole folder because I only want to keep a few key settings (specifically my taskbar/widgets positions/config) but I guess I will backup whatever I think is probably related.
